The Voices of Veterans

July 7, 2017

"When you're looking for a group of people who might be able to rise above the bitter partisan gridlock, veterans are a good place to look." - Congressman Seth Moulton

There are currently 79 veterans (plus one nonvoting Member) in the House (19Ds/61Rs) and 21 in the Senate (7Ds/14Rs). Although military members, who voted 60%for Trump in the 2016 election, are generally pegged as more conservative, the President's actions in office have spurred an interest by many veterans in running as a Democrat.
